April CPI-U Update

The April CPI-U value increased to 213.240. This marks the 4th consecutive period of inflation.

We can now begin tracking the CPI-U values for the November I bond rate, which we all hope is better than the current 0% rate.

Mar. Apr. May. Jun. Jul. Aug. Sep.
212.709 213.240          

The November I bond inflation-linked rate is based on the change in CPI-U between March and September, which we will know by mid-October.
